Ringfence the current £350 million/week EU fee for future NHS spending instead
Following the vote to leave the EU on the 23/06/2016, the government will make savings totalling £350 million/week. This money should be spent on the NHS. This could fund training bursaries, helping unemployed British people find skills for work, and also reduce the need to hire immigrant staff.
Vote Leave made a great deal in their campaign that the UK's contributions to the EU should fund the NHS, it was even printed on their campaign bus: http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/
Cuts to NHS training bursaries have caused concerns about staff shortages in the NHS in recent months: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36336830
Nurses have been exempted from immigration controls due to staff shortages: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/oct/06/nurses-immigration-rules-nhs-england-chief
